I have set up home sharing on both of my computers but neither one is showing that they are connected to the other computer?
I have windows main computer and a new mac laptop. I have all the right buttons clicked and have looked at tons of help pages but neither computer is registering that this one is on the same home share network. There is no shared folder option. Therefore I can't get any of my old music onto my new laptop. Help
Is both computer on the same local network?
Is both computer iTunes authorize with the same AppleID (iTunes menu Store)?
Is Mac iTunes menu Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing, On? (Same AppleID again)

Correct, there's no shared folder option.
If the above are done right and both computer iTunes are up and running, you'll see in iTunes left panel the iTunes library of the other computer iTunes library.

My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
Any suggestions?System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?
By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID. -
Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.
Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty; -
My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi (apps etc) doesn't load content and just looks like it's loading forever but nothing ever comes. However the wifi and wifi/internet dependant apps work sometimes but it's rare. How do I fix this?
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist. -

I have rented two movies on my laptop and they will not completely download..it shows that they are theere but when i try to watch them on my laptop or my ipad it wont open up???? help
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -
Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?
You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

Hey guys, I have home shared before between our computers, but for some reason today it is not giving me the option. I have quit and re-opened itunes ten times, and it is still not cooperating. I have turned one and off home sharing, like ten times, and I have reactivated both computers for my devise.
HELP!
Thanks,
HeatherIs both computer on the same local network?
Is both computer iTunes authorize with the same AppleID (iTunes menu Store)?

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank youYes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,
